Food and drinks were incredible. Service was slow, but it may be because of staff shortages.

The best vegan food ever. We did the counter experience which allowed us to do a 6 course tasting and watch the dishes come out of the kitchen. The chef was friendly and answered all our questions. The food is creative but accessible. Every dish had a subtle spice due to the Colombian & Venezuelan influences of the owner and chef. The house made gnocchi is superb & the vegan sashimi was my favorite appetizer. I would eat everything on the menu. Dessert was fantastic also.

This place is amazing! Weekends are great because you can choose from their delicious brunch options or their regular menu which has just as many delish options. Their juices are so fresh, the empanadas are heavenly—everything we ate was amazing! So worth the trip and will be back often!
